Joseph II asked with concern.
The Minister of Defense remained silent, but the Chancellor spoke first, "Your Majesty, the issue now isn't just whether we have the time or not, but what the orcs really want to do.
The orc cavalry is indeed heading north, but they are not forgetting to wreak havoc along the way, setting fire to houses, destroying farmlands, and displacing people...
The areas they pass through all become wastelands.
Most of the provinces along the way can basically be declared ruined. If this situation continues, not a single piece of uncontaminated land can be found in the entire Warhammer Great Plains.
The foundation of our kingdom has been shaken.
Moreover, those several millions of displaced refugees are becoming a new threat. In some areas, there have even been farces where the refugees storm the castles of the nobles for food."
